WordPress Querying posts Using get_posts()
Example
get_posts() is a wrapper for a separate instance of a WP_Query object. The returned value is an array of post object.
global $post;
$args = array(
'numberposts' => 5,
'offset'=> 1,
'category' => 1
);
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) :
setup_postdata($post); ?>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php endforeach;
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
For more info check out the get_posts() codex page.
